It is made by S.E.M. the color is Monterey. It is as close as I could find and Sherwin Williams Auto Paint can mix it for you. This paint is also available in a rattle can. The paint is a vinyle paint for interior sufaces so it has a flex additive in it so it wont crack. Just let it dry thoroughly. I have edited this in June 03. I originally posted the color as Castilla and found I was wrong.

Its almost the same as the colr that is on the original steering wheels. I compared it with an actual original and it is close enough for me. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 55 Member | | Member Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 55 | I can't really tell, but the color on my old '51 wheel looks like a chocolate type brown. Is that right? Or is it supposed to be beige/tan? I'm Filling steering wheel cracks now, will be ready for paint soon.. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 587 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2000 Posts: 587 | I thought the chocolate brown was correct, I found it interesting that the color I used on mine (the brown) matched the brown color on the very middle of the gauges. | | |
